Current Player Thread Ole Romeny

I thought he looked quite good last night. Almost certainly because the pace was slower and he's got decent technique. If we manage to stay up, I can't see him staying- he's nowhere near Championship standard imo. If we go down, I imagine he'll be kept on as a squad player.

Yes he looked decent.
Very assured penalty as well.
 
His best game for us so far IMO. When he plays centrally he looks lost, but last night out on the wing, even if he didn't have the pace to beat a man outright, he had enough tricks to get past his defender. His physicality is really useful when he comes in from the wing into the box.
 
I agree that his game could be suited to League 1. He has that physical build and a few tricks in him, sort of akin to a physically able Yanic Wildschut.

There are a few too many players that we have we just don’t know what to do with at times - Goodhram, Phillips, Romeny all qualify for that. We’ve signed an excellent wing back in HTA too yet don’t use a system that would have him.

I know it’s the modern way to have signings made by committee but it does lead to some confusing signings at times.

Hopefully the Mitchell/Bloomfield link goes some way to solving that.

Well certainly got a shot on him

He’s also one of the few players we’ve got that can actually dribble around a defender.
 
The phrase 'flatters to deceive ' was surely created for Romeny.

Some bright moments from him yesterday, but it was a game against a league 2 side where we dominated possession.

If he was cut out for Championship football we would know by now.

For his age, he's a very callow player and I have doubts about his ability to deal with the grind at league one level.

If he wasn't Indonesian qualified I doubt he would have made it onto the 500th row of Ed's Excel spreadsheet.

Well, if you want to know what kind of level St Kitts play at, they drew with San Marino in 2024, their man ‘keeper plays his club football in Malta and one of their defenders called up recently plays for Inkberrow - a member of Southern Division One South - level 8 of the English football league pyramid.

Didn't Super Kevin Francis play for St Kitts and Nevis?

Eh you can only beat what’s in front of you
 
It's just not happened for him when he came on at Stoke on the right he did some really good things but it just hasn't been consistent. I think he will be moving at the end of the season what ever happens

At Stoke? Maybe if Rosie had asked him to do it for the half time crossbar challenge.

Romeny is not even L1 standard imo. And I'm not even sure he'd cut it in L2 tbh. Decent technique but chronically slow, no fight, no stamina- and shoved off the ball every time. Like most people, I really wanted him to work out, but he's way off the standard of player we need.

I think that he would dominate League 2. He dominated one of the better sides in the league at MK Dons when we played there, and I don't see why he could not do that against the rest of the league. I would be willing to give him 6 months in league one before writing him off entirely. Even if he never lives up to the price tag, he could still play a role.

Maybe. I was still hoping he'd make it until I saw him close up at Charlton. He was awful. He's just so slow. And loses every single 50/50. But agree he's not a bad footballer (technically) and will do well at the right level, which definitely isn't the Championship. If we go down, suspect he'll be kept on as a squad player.

As an aside......I kind of love the randomness of these international windows where only a few countries are playing meaningful games, whilst the 'big name' countries are playing each other to get a tune up for the summer tournament. Leaves everyone else scrambling for an opponent and produces some incredibly unique matches.

A friendly tournament being played in Indonesia between the hosts, Bulgaria, St Kitts and St Nevis and the Solomon Islands? Can't imagine that group of countries has played each other much in their histories!

Kazakhstan trying to beat them in randomness, however, by scheduling friendlies against Namibia and the Comoros. I imagine that's an absolute bastard of a journey if anyone is actually trying to travel from Moroni to Astana without being able to go via the Gulf!
